Large-scale studies in school

A series of both small-scale and
large-scale studies in school districts from a variety of countries, including
the United States, Canada, Israel, and Australia, have demonstrated improvements,
sometimes impressive improvements, on such measures as concentration,
organization, productivity, reading skills, spelling skills, math
skills, writing skills, self-awareness, self-expression, and ~onfidenceF.~or instance,
a group of first-year nursing students learned a six-minute daily routine
using techniques similar or identical to the Cross Crawl, K-27 massage,
and the Wayne Cook posture. After several weeks of practice, they showed a
69.5 percent reduction in self-reported anxiety and an 18.7 percent increase
in performance on skill tests, as contrasted with control subject^.^
